Liverpool secured the Premier League title on April 27, 2025, by defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield, achieving their record-equalling 20th top-flight title. Manager Arne Slot, in his debut season, thanked his predecessor Jurgen Klopp, stating, "The only thing now is to send my appreciation to Jurgen Klopp," highlighting the legacy Klopp left behind at the club, including a strong culture of hard work and teamwork, according to BBC.

In a heartfelt tribute, Slot led Liverpool fans in a chant dedicated to Klopp, reflecting on the previous manager's influence: "Because of what (Klopp) did, before I even arrived here... that definitely helped me," Slot emphasized. The emotional connection to Klopp resonates deeply as players and fans celebrate the club's success, as noted by Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Slot, who became the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League, acknowledged the enormity of this achievement, saying it may take time to fully comprehend what it means: "To a certain extent, (it is) quite unreal," he shared. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk remarked on the difficulty of replacing Klopp, praising Slot for managing this significant transition effectively, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Reflecting on the day of triumph, Slot emphasized the emotional impact of seeing the fans' joy upon their victory: "the only moment I was emotional today was when we arrived at the stadium to see what it meant for the fans." Slot also lightheartedly dismissed the idea of training the following day, opting instead for a celebratory drink, a sentiment that further unites the team spirit at Liverpool, as highlighted by BBC and Reuters.
